Disabled children put lacquer art on show

An exhibition of lacquer paintings done by children suffering mental disorders has opened in Hue City.

The Tri Tuong Tuong Tren Son Mai (Showing Imagination through Lacquer Paintings) exhibition displays 51 paintings featuring traditional and iconic Vietnamese images like the Muc Dong (Buffalo Boy), Trau va Ruong (Buffalo and Paddy Field) and Me Que (Mother in the Countryside).

The children from Hue’s Trinh Truc Gia Centre for Disabled People have surprised viewers with their creativity and use of joyful colours.

The exhibition will remain open at 1 Le Hong Phong Street until November 25.

Proceeds from the sale of the paintings will be donated to the Trinh Tuc Gia Centre.
